useful Improvements in Saw Sets, of which the following is a specification. V

This invention relates to saw sets, and particularly to a device adapted for individual use.

An object is to provide a saw set which is readily portable and which is so constructed that by manual manipulation of the parts the teeth f a saw are bent and madeto conform to an anvil portion, thus insuring that the same degree of offset is given to each tooth of the saw. f

toothed edgeof a saw and located on the a handle is operforce to bend the tooth which the prying force ated witha prying in the direction in is exerted.

Another object lies in providing a device of this character which is composed of but few parts inexpensively manufactured and assembled, and with which there is little likelihood of the parts becoming broken or dis arranged in use. I v 7 With these and other objects in View which will be apparent from the specification, claims and drawings, this invention includes certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts which Will now be set forth.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation.

F ig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 with the housing shown in section; V

Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 33 of Fig.

The housing 1 is of substantially U-shaped form and is provided with bearing openings 2. A forming member 3 has an extension a adapted to fit and slide housing 1 and provided with on one edge of the extension. This memthrough. the

e a forming anvil 'WllGIB saws forparticular rack teeth 5 her 3 has ahook end 6 the housing 1 has portion 7 which is adjacent the hook end-6. .This hook end and the,

housing 1 are formed with'an'angular offset as at 8, corresponding substantially'to the angle of set desired to be gi vento the saw 1 withinthe housing teeth.

A handle 9 mounted by a bearing pin 10 fitted :in 'the bearing jopenings 2, and this handle has of extension 4. The arrangement handle is such that when the handle is swung down, with respect to housing 1, in

a curved rack 11 intermeshing' with the rack teeth 5 of the the direction indicated by the arrow in,

Fig 2 the-hooked end 6 of forming member 3 is drawn toward the anvil portion 7 A further object resides in so constructing the parts that the device is placed over the of the housing. r

In the use of my lmproved saw set the structure, with the handle raised as shown in Fig. 1, is placed with the hooked end of I member 3 over the toothed edge of the saw and is adjusted to bring the tooth to be set 7 within the offset. at 8. The handle isthen I bent to the form of the offset 8 by a-prying positively force exerted upon the handle in the direc-- tion in which it is desired to bend the tooth paratively thin so that the tool can be used so The forming member 3 will be made comi upon saws having finefteeth, and it will be appreciated that teeth of different lengths can be set, the offset 8 'being sufficiently long to take the. maximum length of tooth. The angle of offset at 8 can be varied to give a greater or lesser angle of set to the teeth uses are desired to be set; r

While, in the foregoing, Ihave described specific embodiments, and havecmentioned only. certain possible modifications, it will,

be appreciated that in practice I donot limit myself to such specific details as herein set forth, but may resort ito anypractig I cal modifications falling within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

I claim:

A saw set comprising a substantially U- shaped housing having a forming anvil portion, a forming Inember' provided with a rack bar extension slidable within the Haa ing and having a hooked end extending ad jaeent the anvil portion of the housing, and 10 In testimony whereof I aflix my signatuie. 7
